Can canelo still be a star even after Golovkin destroys him?

If he loses on points(i.e. vs Floyd), it won't be a huge setback on his career. If it's a one-sided fight followed by a no-surprise knock out, he will have to re-establish himself through multiple fights and lose at least 2 years to get to a true star status.

 

Canelo could lose to a strawweight by KO and he'd still be a superstar. The only way is up for Canelo. He is adored too much.

 

Well Saul has never been knocked out and he has endured many 12 round fights, so you never know for sure.

 

No

 

I highly doubt GGG would destroy Canelo.

 

i think canelo has what it takes to go 12 with GGG but only if

1. he takes a tuneup at 160 and settles into the weight nicely

2. the shift up to middle helps his stamina somewhat


i mean he is going to be there next year regardless id say given how he needed 155 v angulo (or was it lara??)

 

:huh what part of taking a tuneup and settling into 160 do you not understand ?

 

Let's see, after close fights with Trout and Lara whom he couldn't separate himself as being levels above, then the one sided loss to Floyd, getting brutally knocked out by Golovkin only solidifies What I've already known, Canelo is not a superstar and will probably headline maybe 2 or 3 ppv cards in his career...

 

Canelo would outbox Lee easily. People are really overrating Lee's KO power. I've known this guy since he was an amateur, he isn't all that as a power puncher. He is a far better as a boxer rather than a KO artist.
